That's exactly right, and that X-terminal will be running an X-server,
i.e., enough software to render graphics. So an actual application is
run on the main computer, which does all the work, but the program picks
up its graphics from the terminal's X-server for rendering its output to
the screen. That way the bits for rendering the screen pixels don't
have to travel down the pipe to the terminal, saving considerable
bandwidth.

The problem is that there's no good reason to shell out for more hardware to
accomplish the same task. If the same task is performed, and no increase in
efficency or capability occurs, why should I need a $700 Duron rig instead of a
$20 486/66 from a yard sale? If parts on the 486 blow out, they're probably
cheaper to get equally-capable replacements.
Not to mention the ecological problems with discarding a large box of plastic,
metal, and silicon every few years.
I have bought plenty of upgrades to improve my Linux experience.

A reality check is in order when you've completely bought into the entire
"outdated because you have version 3.5 and version 3.6 is what is current"
marketting scheme. And furthermore, I assume you feel that anyone who does
not have a WinTel system needs the reality check?
Regardless of the level of 'currency' you have with your hardware, doesn't
it seem galling to know that a free OS, on hardware that you probably could
not pay someone $50 to incinerate for you, performs just as well, if not
out-performs an over-priced OS that bogs down hardware that costs at least a
$1,000 USD or more in terms of stability, reliability and uptime?
Or that some people still support an OS that has only recently been updated
on hardware that still shames the WinTel monopoly (Hail Amiga! -- but that
is a different newsgroup) because it still works, and works well at
multitasking more smoothly on half a megabyte than curent hardware running
Windows?
I'd say, at this point, even if Amigans, for example, finally got rid of
their Amigas in favor of a WinTel machine, the $2-3,000 they paid for the
high end Amiga systems they purchased 8-9 years ago was money well spent.
They got far more than their original money's worth for their machines. If
you bought a 486 "back in the day" and it still runs, and out-performs a
PII, or PIII at tasks by running a free OS on it, instead of having to have
purchased new hardware just to support the most current version of a
proprietary OS on it, again, money well spent.
If I have to pay THAT much just to eek out performance from my over-priced
software, if I had to buy hardware upgrade after upgrade after upgrade just
to support software version after version after version, THEN I'd seriously
need the reality check.

I have never claimed that MS makes innovation totally stop just that
it raises the cost of bringing such innovation to market.
Linux, and other Open Source projects, are making advances in spite
of having had little funding because the people involved are
donating millions of hours of programming, testing, and debugging
time every year.
That represents an investment buy the communities of something close
to a billion dollars a year in intellectual capital. Even IBM has
said that they cannot match that.
That is finally beginning to allow people to see that not all
computing needs to be under the thumb of MS.
That is what MS has used to keep out potential innovations and still
some trickle through. By having millions of innovative drips even
MS will eventually be submerged in the flood.
As for "Linux's technology has not advanced past the level that MS's
has". Since Linux compiles the same kernel to run on the iPAQ and
the z900 and MS require different source trees for servers and
desktops on x86 alone how can you justify saying that ?
Linux has grown from nothing but a mutitasking plaything on Linus'
desk to running several, I have pointers to ten at least, computers
in the top 500 largest supercomputers in the world. I have a single
pointer to a W2K member of that group. How is Linux behind by that
measure ?
Linux today, in delivered code, functions perfectly on 64 bit CPUs.
MS has a version which boots on Itanium, again only a single
architecture. How is Linux behind ?
The WebBench figures that Chad was blathering about put W2K 2%
behind Linux while running on faster hardware. How does that put
Linux behind ?

Bill had already propositioned Netscape to just divide up the market

Not taking defensive measures when you are being attacked is not

The Sherman act does not attempt to enumerate a list of forbidden
activities any more than the laws against murder attempt to list
ways in which you are forbidden to kill people.
What happens in both cases is that the circumstances are examined
and the outcome and the intent determines the guilt of the accused.
Neither set of laws are invalid because they do not enumerate the
infinite ways to break them.

I contend that you are mixing fruit again Erik.
No other OS competes for the desktop. Can't, OEM preloads add the
cost of whatever MS is calling the Windows desktop this quarter to
any potential competitors' cost.
How can OS/2 or BEos or whatever "compete" when somewhere between
$40 and $90 gets sent to Redmond for every copy sold ?
Linux does not compete on desktops. You can order machines
preloaded with Linux from Dell, Gateway, CompaQ, HP, and IBM at
least, all servers not desktops.
The only MS OS aimed at servers is W2K and it costs several hundred
on up to thousands of dollars per CPU while Linux is less than two
hundred even if you take the same CD and install it on dozens of
eight CPU servers.
Sounds like a large price difference to me.

Which conveniently ignores all the Sherman Act violations to keep it

People "buy" it because avoiding it is almost impossible, not
because they like monopoly crapware.

Yes and no. In 10 years we won't consider this much at all. Most of us

Don't give me that bullshit. The United States spends 5x as
much per pupil on Kindergarte-12th grade education as any other
country in the world. And to what end?
In case you haven't noticed, the public K-12 education system
in this country, if foisted upon us by another country, would
be considered an act of war.
